Shelby County Juvenile Court has appointed Qur’an Folsom as its new chief administrative officer (CAO), the court announced Nov. 5, according to the Commercial Appeal. Folsom previously served in the same role for the Shelby County Commission, and worked with the Tennessee Department of Human Services, former U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander and the Memphis City Schools Board of Commissioners. “I am profoundly grateful to Judge Sugarmon for the trust and confidence he has shown in appointing me as the next chief administrative officer,” Folsom said in a news release. She replaces Stephanie Hill, who joined the PURE Academy — a nonprofit residential school working with at-risk youth — in September.
